GCLC

Mutation & survival
SurvivalMutationKaplan–Meier · TCGA cohorts

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, GCLC Mutation is linked to patient survival in 5 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated GCLC data layer compared with 23 for mass-spec protein and 4 for mass-spec protein.

The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where higher GCLC Mutation is associated with worse overall survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated GCLC expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC show a favorable association.

HNSC, UCEC, and LUAD are the cancer types where GCLC Mutation most reproducibly stratifies survival.

Mutation survival associations by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. AUC1 and AUC2 indicate survival in the high- and low-expression groups, respectively; the lower AUC marks the poorer-surviving group. p-values are from the log-rank test.
